The unlimited amounts of inspiration and square footage of furniture and décor resources at High Point Market can be quite overwhelming. Walking from showroom to showroom starts to feel like déjà vu. Every once in a while, something special comes along. For us, that was Woodard Furniture! Being in business for over 150 years, Woodard has kept pace with ever-changing design trends and continually produced new outdoor collections year after year. Much more than collections of residential and hospitality furniture, Woodard has their own lines of outdoor rugs, umbrellas, bed swings and fire tables too. Walking through the showroom we saw and touched materials firsthand, we quickly learned that their outdoor fabrication was much more than metal and wicker furniture. Woodard introduced us to something with great appeal, luxurious {outdoor} pieces that most clients would source for their interior spaces. Style, function and quality reside in Woodard’s craftsmanship. Here are just a few of our favorites:

We’re grateful we attended High Point Market in High Point, North Carolina last week! We hope that you can live vicariously through our team here at All Por Ju as we bring to you highlights of the trip and share some amazing vendors we spent some QT with.

We’re seeing distinct home trends that are being adopted by Millennials. Many are choosing to rent rather than purchase, selecting smaller and more intentional spaces. In stark contrast to the “McMansion” trend of a prior generation, they exhibit a preference for function over the traditional trappings of luxury living, focusing on elements they deem essential in furnishing their space.

With that springtime weather finally arriving, it puts an extra spring in our step! How about you? We are constantly on the hunt for items for your home to reflect the season and trends. It’s easy to freshen up any space for spring with a few furniture or décor pieces.

We love helping our #APJ readers out, keep the #AskAPJ questions coming! Annie tagged us on Instagram asking for help with the design of her narrow format living room & dining room. She shared the following picture as well. She says, “Here is a head scratcher. Our loooooong living room features some of our favorite antique pieces, but lacks color etc. We’re looking to replace dining chairs, but what style and color? How about different curtains? Ack! Help a design loving yet challenged gal! P.S. did I mention besides antique pieces and the floor I loathe the color brown?”

We are well into the new year now, would you say that you kicked it off with a nice, clean “blank” slate? As much as I plan ahead and make my lists, somehow I don’t ever feel like I can hit the ground running on January 1. From holiday hangovers {aka food comas} to refusing to take down festive decorations {no judging, my tree is still up}, the task of organizing your life {for me it’s the office} can be daunting. All I have to say is… GET IT TOGETHER! 🙃

Let us be one of the first to wish you a Happy New Year APJ friends! As we welcome new beginnings of 2016, we can’t help but give thanks to what the previous year gifted us. There are so many that come to mind, but we’ll keep it short and sweet…

One thing that stood out from 2015 is that I graduated with my degree in Interior Design from BYU-Idaho! That was definitely the highlight of my year! I’m extremely grateful for my degree, however, the relationships that I’ve established in the process mean the most. I met my best friend on my first day of the four year design program, my closest friends from college were also a part of the program, my mentors were my professors, and my internship with Lisa Escobar Design has given me endless opportunities. And… here I am now, forever grateful!

I can’t believe it, twelve months have flown by faster than I could ever imagine! The saying must be true then, time flies when you’re having fun. As we say goodbye to the past year and wrap up 2015… here’s a little NYE inspo for you.
